I think we rushed into Unger and we paid the price for it. Kinda like the old saying, measure twice and cut once to prevent yourself from making too many mistakes. I know that every course evolves with time, but lets try to cover as much as we can with the first draft so there isn't as much work to be done down the road.

Don's 27 was great IMO. variety was covered, obstacles were used, etc. save for the long arms (CC fans) among us, everyone would be happy with that course.

no it wasn't an epic be-all-end-all course, but certainly worthy of the space out there.

that, from what i understand, is Dave Mac's project, so you'll have to get in touch with him to confirm.

Are YOU the d-bag who swiped all four of the putters I left at White Birch?

I think the 27 that are layed out would be considered 27 Holes, not the 27 hole layout. I think Jeff is correct we will proceed cautiously but aggressively, I think 27 would suit this parcel. Can we get 36 holes? Maybe if they let us use the land they have planned for the future, we can get 36 temporarily. If we get the other property, then you will see 18 that has more championship terrain. The current 27 holes by no means is pitch and putt. We have passed the first hurdle, which is to pitch this opportunity to the park board. We have entered the next stage and here is what needs to happen:Tim Finan please get me the current layout on paperI will take that Layout to SLIK and we will apply the layout on the aerial view for presentation to Bridgeton City Council.City Council had a meeting last Thursday and the course was discussed, now all members are aware of it.The next step is to get face time with the council members.Then we can begin Phase I. Chris and I hope to meet with and get approval for Phase I so we can announce/display the course information at the Turkey Toss.Mark

I got to play the new course on Sunday and other than a few tweaks, I would say the course has alot of potential to be my new favorite. I'd like to actually see it without snow but it has some nice elevation changes and i like that almost every hole has O.B. come into play.
